We are Hunter Locksmiths, a mobile auto locksmith covering Finchley, from Finchley Central and Ballards Lane up to North Finchley and Tally Ho Corner.
Cars and vans are the main job rather than a sideline. Replacement car keys, ignition faults, immobiliser problems and lockouts are what our vans carry the kit for, seven days a week and at any hour.
What Finchley Throws At Us
Vans, mostly. The stretch between North Finchley and the North Circular is full of trades working out of their vehicles, and a van that will not open on a Monday morning is not an inconvenience, it is a day of lost work. We cut and program van keys on site rather than ordering parts in and coming back, and we fit deadlocks and slam locks for anyone leaving tools in the vehicle overnight.
Then there are the station car parks. Finchley Central, East Finchley and West Finchley all fill with cars left for the working day. Ten hours is long enough for a weak fob to die, and people come back in the dark to a car that will not respond.
Ballards Lane and the parade around Tally Ho Corner give us the short stay lockouts, where keys get shut in the boot during a quick stop. Brent Cross is close enough that we get called there regularly too, usually from the car parks rather than the road.
Finchley is part of our wider North London coverage, so we also cover East Finchley, Woodside Park and Whetstone.
